Hi!

As you know I do enjoy PvP, but never said I was good at it! :p

Anyway, I've been wanting to ask.

On paper would you say the Viper Mk IV is a more "noob-friendly" choice than a Cobra Mk III owing to it being outright built for combat and having a few perks such as better weapon placement and more versatile internals?

Cheers.

Viper 3 or 4 mate, will PM you a loadout.
 
OP, if you want to do serious pvp, take competetive ship like fdl, fas, vulture, alliance ch..., even krait or python (or fgs, fds, clip)
that is nr1 step you need to do, step up and forget about cobra, viper... yes they are ok but not as primary pvp ship (same with big ships)

I cant believe after few answers nobody adviced just that major thing.... to get medium ship.

With small ship it takes too long to kill other pvper in medium ship.

as for weapons, use anything :)
Ship have to be build for PvP only, so forgot about versatility like f.e. fuel scoop, srv hangar, cargo rack (!), so equip it just for PvP. Lot of shield, and lot of armor. Then come to CG, with your new maxed pvp ship and confidence how long it will hold in a fight, then realise you can be killed faster as you was thinking, then you will improve.... and that is most enjoyable IMO

Lies.. I melt FDL's in my Vipers, Chiefs can be a problem as they pitch fast, but the Viper is the king of PvP satisfaction if you practice.

Though I will say, if you're dealing with a wing, you will most likely get splattered, can defiantly cause them a serious mischeif though, probably kill one before you're out of lead or pop.

Ive never used a cobra 3 but I can tell you the viper 4 is the most popular small ship I see in pvp, followed by the courier and ieagle

Ya this is false.
I've seen plenty of vipers and couriers and even dbx's take down Corvette's and cutters with ease.
